Annual. Radical leaves roundish-spathulate, crenate, abruptly 
attenuated into very short petioles, decaying before flowering. 
Stem erect, or the lateral ones decumbent at the base, rather stout, 
hispid, paniculately branched in the upper half, and frequently 
also from the crown of the root. Stem-leaves rather distant, oblong, 
lowest attenuated at the base, the rest sessile, and generally semi- 
amplexicaul ; all crenate and undulated on the margins, obtuse, 
hispid or puberulent. Inflorescence a slender interrupted sub- 
racemose panicle. Mowers erect, sessile, or very shortly stalked, 
terminating the stem and branches, solitary or 2 or 3 together, 
with lcaflike bracts at the base of each. Calyx-tube hispid ; 
segments elliptical, acute, ciliated, erect. Corolla nearly rotate, 
not above half the length of the calyx-segments, with 5 acute 
deltoid, lobes about one -third the length of the whole corolla. 
Capsule prismatic, abruptly attenuated at the apex, twice to four 
times the length of the calyx-segments. 
In cultivated fields in sandy and chalky soils. Not uncommon 
in the South and East of England ; rare in the North, where it 
occurs in Yorkshire, and very local in Scotland, where it grows 
about Aberledy, in Haddingtonshire, and in Eifeshire. . 
England, Scotland. Annual. Summer and Autumn. 
Stem solitary or several, from the crown of the root, erect, 3 to 18 
inches high, rather wiry. Leaves small, rarely above 1 inch long, 
and generally less strongly undulated. Corolla inconspicuous, lilac 
outside, pale-purple within, about J inch across, the sepals extend- 
ing far beyond it and spreading in flower, but erect in fruit. Cap-
